I have been thinking of good ways to implement generic, user-specified
content-type -> content-type filters in the emacs-w3 browser. I can add
new tags for simple highlighting by changing one variable, so thats no
problem, and adding the other tags wouldn't be too much of a problem
either. I will try to do it as soon as it is in a written document I can
sit down with (other than email).
I've got a few other problems with the emacs browser that need to be
changed first though, so that raman can use it at all. :)
